I am a fucking fan John loves the Wu Tang Clan and so do I.

@Sullivan Malakai the simps are here.

Oh.. thought it was an image.

@@22.NUU.DRU.22 it is, you’ll notice it never moved

Omg 🤣

I don't know if is in this interview, but Flea get so much anger and swear the shit out in the guy who has asking these questions about his frustration in the by the way era

That's so true... but I like the b-sides better.

ikr

It's their Sgt. Pepper's in my opinion. A literal masterpiece.

It's my favorite by far. I love how much John influenced it. And I love that flea wrote my favorite song universally speaking!

@@Glitch-nr9ct absolutely the last few so good ending with Venice queen aw it gives you chills

Behold. Let's see how long he will stay this time.

@@MobySlick Well if he leaves again I don't doubt that the entire band will call it a day

@@MobySlick 10 years usually.

@@butttbiter usually? He stepped out twice and only the second time was after 10 years

@@sakarinieminen3205 after 100% of his returns to the band then..

Agreed but also, I wish he'd play "non-John" songs from other guitarists besides Hillel.

@@motoki1 , there's no way.

@@19stoned90 Yup - very unlikely.

@@motoki1 ,not sure how to feel about it. As a huge Fru fan I'm spending most of my free time listening to his song's. As a average guitar player I'm learning nothing but his work. But yes, there are some awesome songs from other albums. I really love Walkabout.

@@19stoned90 Could be, but likely very much worth it. I like Walkabout, love One Big Mob. Josh years: most of I’m with You. Keep on rockin’! Lots of great riffs to learn in the RHCP world.

Flea even has a tattoo of Mr. Hendrix's face on his shoulder.

Angel

haha this is well put

three other people

@@HelloSadness101 ....you forgot,... *I am in the band too.

@@Glitch-nr9ct congratulations

Yeah ! And what about the B sides ? This man change my life forever.

Yup Stadium Arcadium to me is their best album. Never heard the B sides tho.

No way to tell, he's constantly changing his mind

Sound's really good pretty much they've retained the same style these usually go with

And there was

Yea Dosed is very good

❤️‍🔥☺️

stadium arcadium is so so good

fav song?

I bet It won’t be until next fall at least

I feel they will finisih it up until May. Then they do some live shows in june-august and tease maybe some new songs. Release in august-september.

Aged well… lol

April 1st babyyyyyy

They'd be perfect at Glasto. Don't see it happening myself as it doesn't pay well and people do it for the reputation. I think the Foo Fighters probably care less about money than the Chilis.

uhhhhm no, have you ever seen a beatles interview?? they say you know every sentence

and Wu Tang. Awesome

Can you explain it so I understand what he means please?

@@victoriaangel8297 Yeah would like to get an explanation of this too

@@victoriaangel8297listen to john’s album “Curtains” and you will understand the ideas

Lovely man

@@maximummatt73 that too

He is god.

I predict middle to end of the year we'll hear something by then for sure

I think everything will speed up when they play first concerts.

Hopefully soon, there hasn't even been a photo or video of them all together yet!

@@Johnsonjackson2022 with how shit things go the summer concerts will be canceled again so i dont think there is much of a point for them to release an album that they are gonna play live in 2022

I’d say that the earliest would be fall of this year. At that’s if we are lucky.

@LowLinK he does know what he's talking about. when he says "european" he means more melodic indie rock/pop like the Smiths. when he says "blues/funk" he means more of the old school rock and funk stuff. just because he's a huge fan of Hendrix doesn't mean he's constantly into the same exact sound all the time. like he said, his tase changes and he's more into certain things at certain times. he still appreciates the different music, but that doesn't mean he will always be interested in that sound. he might like Hendrix but not want to sound like that all the time. just because you don't understand what he's talking about doesn't mean he's a jackass. I wouldn't underestimate John's influence on their sound. according to Jack Sherman (former RHCP guitarist) he spoke with one of their managers (or someone else involved in the band) and they said that John's output was so overwhelming that it made the rest of the band seem like his "side men." I don't know how true that is, but it's something to think about.

Agreed

It changed my life!

Everybody listened to Eminem in 2006..lol

He was wrong, tear is an amazing song.

No, that's coke that doesn't make you stop talking

Yeah, true dat

Isn't he cute?

? John wrote almost everything for BTW

@@hom0s4cer clearly lol

@@hom0s4cer watch the video before you comment....

@@macanoodough no... John did write the vast majority of chord progressions and melodies on that album. you misinterpreted the video. do some research before you make a claim, or at least a little critical thinking.

Perché proprio 17 anni?

I could die for you!

Holy shit you're right

@LowLinK I mean, it’s pretty well documented that Mothers Milk, BSSM, Californication, and Stadium Arcadium we’re mostly influenced by John with a significant input from Flea, while By the Way was pretty much all John and the three albums done without John were mostly Flea with little input from Dave Navarro and Josh, respectively. It seems to me the only times Flea was the main creative force was when John wasn’t there, and it seems to me that most of their best albums (in my opinion By the Way, Californication, and Stadium Arcadium (in that order)) were mainly inspired by John. Not saying the other albums aren’t good or enjoyable, I love me some One Hot Minute too, and I’m not saying Flea’s contributions to those albums with John aren’t valuable at all, or that the music would be just as good I thought Flea there to add to and interpret John’s music, but I think it’s pretty clear that John is the main source of the majority of what I personally consider to be their best music. I don’t have any false belief that John is back to stay seeing as he’s quit two times already, and I don’t think the band would at all be able to continue without Flea as he is a major musical force in the band, I’m just saying I think John’s musical contributions have been more notable and superior IN MY OPINION.

@@TheWonderfulBlake well I have to disagree but for a different reason. I believe it's not one or the other but the combination of both of them that make those albums you mentioned so good. In fact they often say this in interviews that it's the chemistry between both of them that produces such good results. If you look at john fruciantes best solo albums, the Empyrean, Shadows collide with people, To record water for only 10 days; They are good records, but mainly because of their experimental qualities and interesting sound scapes. In my opinion the song writing is not as consistently good as the best rhcp records where the musicality is more dynamic, the instrumental melodies are always so well thought out and constructed . And most critiques would agree. I'm in no way trying to discredit john fruciantes solo work. I think its brilliant and if anything under rated. I just donr put the song writing on the same level as rhcp with john records tho. The way I see i see it, flea is the architect and john is more the creative/ experimental genius. I think both of them combined is what produces the best results and their importance is equal.

@@pablopower6297 okay that's a fair point, I really don't mean to put flea down at all, he is clearly an amazing bassist and I couldn't play the bass anywhere near as good as him, so I have no right to criticize. I'm just saying I think John has a significant affect on the grade of the content they make. Flea is an incredible musician regardless, I'm not in any way trying to put him down in terms of his skill. He would maybe be my favorite bassist of all time (I never thought too detailed about my favorite bassist lol); but even if he's not number 1, he's definitively at least in my top 5, so I don't mean to discount his skill or his contributions to the music. He is an amazing musician.

Yeah~I know

Warm tape is good

Well i think its the best song on the record, jaja

Over rated album. First half is decent though

@@longexpectedjourney I only enjoyed a few songs. I just found most of it boring

I think each album has its own unique style - By The Way is still their most popular album + singles here in the UK - for me personally just depends what mood I'm in, BTW is definitely the most melodic and smooth, it has its own special place in their discography

@@callumsmart9359 Yeah the U.K. was obsessed with this album. John has huge influences from the UK so there was deffo some interplay. I don’t see how people don’t like it, but to each their own.

Really? Its my favorite 🤷🏾‍♂️

By the Way is a great summer time album. Cruising with the top down on a hot summer day blasting that is awesome.

Can't stop is a big world hit.

its softer overall for sure but the level of artistry in that album is crazy under appreciated.. and it isn't pop lol... although not too far from it

By The Way is just John's solo work at the time bleeding into the band sound despite being much less experimental sonically. If you listen to John's early to mid 2000s solo albums like Curtains and Shadows Collide with People, they're all drawing the same inspiration as BTW

@@lalfakzualahnamte2021 I have only recently discovered John's solo material and there sure is alot of it lol.. are you a fan? I love BTW... what songs or albums should I listen to first

​@@LinkMAK. John's solo work is diverse and a huge rabbit hole to delve into, in no particular order I would say the most essential ones are : 1. Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-shirt: This is his first album recorded around Blood Sugar Sex Magik era, when he first quit the band. its extremely lofi and experimental. You probably will not be able to sit through it on the first round, but there are some gems in there if you can get past the lofi aethetic, Also note that this album was John's response to the fame that he got from RHCP's newfound success 2. Shadows Collide With People : John released 4 or 5 albums in 2004 while also constantly touring in support of By The Way. This is musically as close to pop as he ever got. Some of the songs here are my favourite songs of all time like Carvel and Omission. But the albums sometimes feels a bit too long with around 20 tracks. Might alse be the first collab he did with Josh Klinghoffer. Production is the exact opposite of his first album with layers and layers of synths, vocals and guitars 3. Curtains : This one was released in the next year, 2005. Much shorter than Shadows Collide and much more striped down arrangement with a couple of guitar solos played by Omar Rodriguez Lopez of The Mars Volta 4. The Empyrean : This one came out when John left RHCP the second time after Stadium Arcadium (but it wasn't announced yet that he had left). IMO his best one, this has traces of psychedelic rock and prog rock. Flea and Klinghoffer play in multiple tracks and there are tons of amazing guitar solos. Its also the last 'guitar album; John made 5. After the Empyrean, John has dabbled in electronica which is sometimes very left of centre and experimental, Enclosure seems to be the one that's most listener friendly for his guitar music fans since the arrangements are more straightforward than his other stuff.

@@lalfakzualahnamte2021 thanks man. I seriously appreciate the effort you put into this response and I'm gonna check out all of it.. I got through half of the first album recently.. pretty wild.. you can really feel the condition of John's life at the time through the music.. I look forward to listening to the stuff he put out around the time BTW was released.

I like By the Way, but One Hot Minute was just as good in its own way - possibly better. It's a tad subjective, like apples and oranges, but I totally see your point.
